I remember this event really well. At the time i was living at Higher odcombe near Yeovil. It had been cold since the 9th of Feburary. Snow had laid for over a week. Then on Saturday 18th Feburary in the evening the main blizzard began. It continued until Monday morning the 20th. Level snow
was about 18 inches deep with drifts 20-25 feet! We were cut off from Saturday night till wednesday. i have some photos of the snow. Last year
I bought a book about this blizzard in Dorset which was the worst for about a century. On Sunday, i spent most of the day shovelling snow out
of the loft.
